 Article III: The general target
Annex B provides samples for eligible measures
Measurement and verification of savings will be prepared later by RCREEE as
part of their watch role
Each MS :
 to prepare a 3 year NEEAP with an interim target.
 A new 3 year NEEAP is to be prepared after the completion of the old one
 to implement necessary measures
 Assign the Responsibility for oversight coordination and reporting to one or more
new or existing authorities or agencies.
 The NEEAP is to be reviewed annually to make sure that it fulfills its objectives.

Exemplary role of the public sector
It requires each government to make sure that the public sector:
 is under this Guideline. Sample measures are listed in annex B
 to be effective in telling consumers about the exemplary role and actions of
the public sector in saving energy
 to include guidelines for using energy savings as an assessment criterion
in competitive tendering for public contracts
 select two mandatory measures from a list in Annex C, requiring energy-
efficient public procurement, energy audits, energy performance
contracting,….
 to assign the administrative and executive responsibility for implementing
the requirements of this chapter to a mandated entity. These agencies
must co-operate with the LAS in the promotion of awareness of best
energy saving practices, including on public procurement
 They can impose public service obligations regarding energy efficiency on
those operating in the electricity sectors (G,T&D).

9. Chapter 4: Article 5
Energy distributors
 offer aggregated statistical information annually
 must not do anything to hinder the development of, or impede the market
for, the delivery of energy efficiency
 do one or more of the following:
1. Offer competitively priced energy services to customers
2. Offer their customers competitively priced energy audits, and/or energy
efficiency improvements
3. Make equivalent finance to delivering the above available to fund energy
audits
 Providing information to end users through different media channels
including the electricity bills.

10. Chapter 4: Article 6
Availability of information
 MS shall ensure that information on energy efficiency mechanisms and
financial & legal frameworks adopted with the aim of reaching the national
indicative saving target is transparent and widely disseminated to the
relevant market actors
 They also ensure that greater efforts are made to promote end use
efficiency . They shall establish appropriate conditions and incentives for
market operators to provide more information and advise to end users
 LAS will ensure the widespread dissemination of best energy-saving
practices in MS as well as working on learning from similar international
experiences

11. Chapter 4: Article 7
Technical competence, objectivity & reliability
Governments to ensure the availability of appropriate qualifications,
accreditation and certification schemes for the:
 providers of energy services,
 energy audits
 and energy efficiency improvement schemes.

12. Chapter 4: Article 8
Financial instruments for energy savings
Governments must make sure no legislation exists that unnecessarily or
disproportionately impedes or restricts the use of financial instruments for
energy savings - unless these are of a clearly fiscal nature.
.
Requires governments to restructure its electric tariff, in order to promote
energy efficiency. without adversely affecting targeted social segments,

13. Chapter 4: Article 10
Financial resources & mechanisms
Governments to make available the required financial resources to support
and implements it energy efficiency programs and other measures for
promoting energy efficiency as well as improving the market for energy
efficiency services (i.e. energy efficiency subsidy funds)
Governments to ensure the availability of efficient, high-quality energy
audit schemes that can be carried out in an independent manner by
ESCOs and Distribution Co. These should identify energy efficiency
improvement measures
